The same historical age have ornamental objects in any form and from the most diverse materials. These range from simple wood or stone to gold and precious stones. Depending on the possibility of the user, they had purely utilitarian mission or were merely for the ornament of the owner. Probably the most famous example of this is Emperor Rudolf II. He resided in Prague around 1600. His “Wunderkammer” is unique in the world. The collection of Rudolf II is today part of the Kunstkammer of the Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna.
